Receiver architecture for memory reads

A memory interface, comprising:

• a plurality of transmitters, wherein each of the plurality of transmitters is configured to transmit data to a memory device over a respective one of a plurality of I/O channels;
• and
• a plurality of receivers, wherein each of the plurality of receivers is coupled to a respective one of the plurality of transmitters, and is configured to receive data from the memory device over the respective one of the plurality of I/O channels;
• wherein the plurality of receivers are grouped together into a receiver subsystem that is located away from the plurality of transmitters, the plurality of transmitters span a first distance, the plurality of receivers span a second distance, and the first distance is at least five times longer than the second distance.
